In this workshop we will focus on using locally sourced native materials in our pots. We will work on the wheel to make better pitchers, boxes, oil pourers and teapots. We will expose the character of the clay by carving and combing the surface of our pots.  Students are encouraged to bring samples of rocks, shales and clays that are local to them. We will process these materials and make simple glaze blends that can be fired in a kiln. Please note we will not be sourcing materials from the Cape Cod National Seashore to protect the fragile habitat.
